Bitterness shown by Turkey abandoning Mediterranean port in campaign (9)
I believe the answer is:
gallipoli
'in campaign' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bitterness shown by turkey abandoning mediterranean port' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'bitterness' could be 'gall' (synonyms) and 'gall' is found within the answer.
'port' could be 'p' and 'p' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gallipoli that I've seen before include "World War I battle of the Dardanelles" , "Turkish peninsula - scene of WWI campaign" , "military campaign" , "battle site" , "military invasion" .)
